We had a great time. We...

We had a great time. We were treated to coffee and a plate of freshly baked mini croissants and pane au chocolate. Then we went downstairs and upstairs to have some hands-on experience with baguettes, financiers and croissants. We left with plenty of goodies for later.

Fun Macaron Class for Families in Paris

Brecken_V, Oct 2026

A Must-Do in Paris

Absolutely amazing experience! We brought our two 8 year olds and this class was perfect. Our instructor, Marie, was engaging, informative, helpful and fun. She was fantastic with the kids and made sure everyone was having a great experience. The class was a great size at 6 people (2 groups) and our macarons turned out perfectly. The class is very interactive, everyone helps mixing ingredients and then makes their own macarons. We received 7+ filling flavor options we could mix and match individually. It was one of the highlights of our trip and I would highly recommend for adults and kids!

Paris Cooking Class and Lunch with Wine plus Market Visit Option

Tammy_B, Oct 2026

Fantastic experience preparing a wonderful French meal

This cooking class, being longer than other 2-hour experiences, requires a time commitment. But for us, it was great. We went to the market and learned about how the local butcher is different than what we are used to. We also spent a good amount of time with the cheese monger booth, sampling different cheeses. Then we started preparing our meal with people volunteering for cutting vegetables, peeling and boiling the pears, preparing the meat, peeling and slicing potatoes, etc. The meat prep in particular was very enlightening to learn how to separate and remove the silver layer without losing a lot of meat. Plus, we had never heard of beef cheeks before. Certain things the chef did, such as preparing the ice cream. The beef was cooked in a stove-top pressure cooker. He was very knowledgeable and easy to understand as well as welcoming questions. Then all 12 of us plus the chef sat down at one big table to enjoy our meal. Definitely a great memory with a lot of learnings we will use in the future. It was a little pricey, but we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Small group, intimate setting. Host was knowledgeable and friendly. We sampled about 7 different French wines. Nice selection of cheese and meats. We did this on a Saturday evening and the shop had several other patrons visit during the event. This caused the event to run over the time. Great to see locals visiting this shop too.

Cheese and Wine Tasting in the Latin Quarter with Chef Alex

Nayram_G, Nov 2025

Chef Alex Stole My African Moms Heart. A delightful experience.

Though my African mom is skeptical of certain cheeses, she had a great time with Chef Alex! Her world opened up through his humor and teachings. Chef Alex and the group we were with were absolutely a delight and I'd recommend to anyone looking not just for wine and cheese but a good look into French food culture.
